[chimerax-users] Bundle Module Import

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Katie,
	I'm not 100% an expert on the vagaries of the Python import mechanism, but here are a few thing to check/try:

1) Make sure your ui subfolder has an __init__.py file in it.
2) Try importing the package first, i.e.:

	import AmberLipidBundle.ui
	from AmberLipidBundle.ui.lipid_form import xxx

3) Use a relative import rather than an absolute import, i.e.:

	from .ui.lipid_form import xxx

I've got my fingers crossed that one of those does the trick. :-)
